# Summary

## What This Packet Demonstrates

- The packet demonstrates a bounded runtime substrate proof over the existing daemon HTTP surface only.
- All executed cases run against fresh isolated local `runtime-daemon` instances in release mode, with one storage root per case.
- Base cases show disciplined ingress, authoritative retained fact resolution, deterministic compile, checkpoint and restore continuity, and useful bounded re-emission.
- Clutter cases show the same substrate behavior under realistic valid clutter rather than only in tiny toy traces.
- The medium clutter case shows deterministic compile and useful re-emission with `36/36` replay steps completed and identical repeated compile output.
- The heavy clutter case shows checkpoint-state and restored compile equality with `64/64` replay steps completed and matching `bundle_text` plus matching `included_items` after restore.
- The endurance clutter case shows long-horizon retained fact survival across a bounded `500/500` replay; the step-250 checkpointed compile and the final restored compile match in both `bundle_text` and `included_items`, while the post-checkpoint mutation compile differs and the final bundle still surfaces the retained auth-fix subset.

## What This Packet Does Not Demonstrate

- It does not demonstrate model quality, prompt quality, controller quality, or agent quality.
- It does not demonstrate a live local-model lane, a non-OpenAI live lane, or a broadened integration framework.
- It does not demonstrate packaging changes, release-claim changes, or contract changes.
- It does not demonstrate unbounded endurance, production throughput ceilings, or SLA claims.

## Why Clutter Pressure Matters

- The ClawCapsule proposition is not that it can merely persist events. The proposition is that it can keep a growing body of admissible task history and still compile a bounded packet that carries the relevant operational subset forward.
- Real work accumulates low-priority but valid items: rollout notes, support macros, monitoring notes, QA reminders, and follow-up cleanup items. A useful runtime substrate must retain those items without letting them drown the current issue at compile time.
- The clutter ladder in this packet makes that pressure explicit. Light, medium, and heavy cases all retain realistic valid events, yet the final bundle continues to surface the relevant auth-fix subset and omit sampled lower-priority clutter from the bounded output.

## How This Differs From Model-In-Loop Or Agent-Quality Proof

- This packet tests substrate mechanics. It replays raw HTTP request bodies and inspects retained state and compiled output.
- Model-in-loop proof asks whether a model uses the emitted bundle well. Agent-quality proof asks whether a broader execution system reasons, plans, or acts well.
- This packet stays one layer lower. It proves that the runtime can admit, retain, checkpoint, restore, and deterministically re-emit bounded context in a form that is worth handing to downstream execution.
